Hi Marion,
I am glad you find my blog useful. I am a big fan of visualizations for healing, and also like to use the kind you describe.

Thank you for your kind words in your email. I have many questions and I’m grateful to find the reminder of tools and answers used to fight pain here. Somewhere along the line, I’ve forgotten many of them.

Along with the Inner Smile meditation, I often use colours in visualizations. I imagine the hurting area (sometimes my whole body) radiating a red inflamed colour; then I turn the dark pulsing red to a gentle green. There is relief.

I find the more I practice, the longer it lasts.

Thanks for this blog, Ed…it is enlightening, to say the very least!

Thanks Ed, a lovely post.

I also find the Inner Smile a delightful meditation.

I also like very much that you say that suppressing our emotions is not healthy – so often I see advice that basically amounts to ignoring or suppressing our feelings.

I guess I would like to add that our feelings lead us to act, in which our thinking to plays a part, and that this is part of letting the emotions go.

Thanks again for a gentle and delightful post. Evan
